Hi everyone, me again,
I just got the fixes.atari01 -10 down to my minix disks, and tried to uudecode
the files. At first I kept getting 'short file' and 'no end' etc. When I looked
at the files with mined, at the end of each line, there is a reverse video
upper case M. I deleted this from around the 'end' of the file and it decoded
OK. ( it seemed ). The file length was OK but the sum was different than it
should have been and the programs give Bus Error when tried.
I tried using gres but I can't seem to put in the M character to search for. I
assume this is the problem, but can't seem to get rid of it, apart from going
through it a line at a time in mined. Can anybody help?
If I could enter the reverse M character into gres and tell it to replace it
 with
nothing, it might work. ( I need sed which incidentally was the file I tried
first!! ).
